Purchased at the brewery in Halifax. After having their Hopyard Pale, let’s see how this one differs. Same look, clean light-amber, great warm cap. The nose is pretty close with the fresh hops, grass. The difference is in the taste. This one is hoppier with lots of grass notes. Not as much grain like the other. Dry mouthfeel with some good bitterness. Nice IPA with some nice fruity notes over the hops.

Single bottle from the brewery in Halifax. Pours a clean light-amber colour with not much carbonation, but the head is beautiful, creamy, frothy, long lasting and with some soapy lace. Nice fresh hop nose at first pour, but then grain comes out with some caramel notes. The taste is milder with a little grass and some nice bitterness getting stronger in the finish. Cereal grain lingers mildly. Not a bad Pale Ale.

Purchased a bottle at the brewery in Halifax. Pours a clean light golden colour with an off-white, fizzy-bubbly head, average retention and a little lacing around the collar. The nose is quite grainy with toasted cereals and some sweetness from hints of honey. Same for the taste, but milder with most of the sweetness gone. Makes this one a very nice drinking summer light blonde. Nice !

6-pack from the NSLC in Halifax. Pours a clean golden colour with a very slight pink hue haze. Raspberry juice aromas over light grain. The raspberry fruit is milder in the taste, showing more the cereal graininess in the finish. Refreshing, grainy and decent fruitiness for this average Raspberry Wheat brew.

Purchased at NS Liquor on my trip to Nova Scotia. Pours a rich golden colour with a very light amber hue. Nice creamy off-white head with decent retention and some more creamy lacing. Aromas are quite grainy with some hay and mild sweetness. The taste is pretty much the same, but with the hop showing in the finish. Light grass, but with a touch of what seems like adjunct or chemical hints. The rest is not bad, but not like written on label "Premium", nor "Spéciale".

Bottle - Lots of sweet caramel and some herbal notes. Clear gold with a decent beige head. Tastes as it smells, quite spicy and weird. Decent.

Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth’s pre-GBBF tasting 2015 - London. Cheers to Scopey for this scoop. Pours clear amber-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds plum, toffee and general ripe fruits. Medium sweet flavor with rich, gooey toffee, figs, mellow alcohol. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, with more toffee and ripe fruits. Very tasty, and nicely balanced overall.

Bottle@Chris and Ruth’s Pre-GBBF 2015, London - pours black with tan/beige head. Dark roasted malty aroma and taste with chocolate, coffee, caramel, rum infused wooden notes, sweet to roasted finish.
